Over the past decades, the disparity in income or really in purchasing capabilities have widened, until there is almost a sense of a shrinking middle class, and an increasing group of people who are living from check to check, simply because of the high prices. The awareness of the disparity is decades old [1-3]. The answer is the economy, of course, just like it was in 1992, when William Clinton was elected. The problems of today, 2021, are more severe, however, and the issues far deeper. Economic issues, especially the massive disparity between the rich/ultra-rich and everyone else is codified in the phrase ‘the 1%.’ Furthermore, at the time of this writing, inflation is rearing its ugly head, goods are becoming in short supply because of the ‘supply chain,’ lawless is breaking out across the United States, the country is emerging slowly from the ravages of COVID-19 pandemic, and the nation is divided into the red states and the blue states, the socalled Republican (party) States, and the so-called Democratic (party) states.

Pollsters and other political professionals often have a sense of what is important to the voter, in terms of substantive topics, such as the economy, the looming issues with health care, and so forth. There is a plethora of possible messages from which to choose, with the problem being which specific topical message for which candidate. However, the important question on the table is, in the first place, how to get people to register to vote. For the more diffuse issue of ‘voting itself ’, like the issue of ‘health maintenance itself,’ we deal with a more difficult problem. There is no pressing need, no issue to solve, no ‘pain points’ to address. Indeed, it is the exact opposite. There is an indifference to the democratic process, one that need not be explained nor studied, and whose origins are not relevant unless those origins can be marshalled to help identify an actionable solution. In other words, the general issue of ‘registering to vote’ is more difficult to understand [1]. There is no pressing fear on the part of the population. Rather, there is a creeping indifference, something which alarms a few people, but is irrelevant to many others until the consequences of such indifference destabilize the country or state or city, and the citizen’s pain begins [2].
